Some of us were on a call on Tuesday, talking about Open Space....and OSLIST....<br>
<br>
...the participants at the time were....<br>
<br>
Chuni Li<br>
Daniel Mezick<br>
Karen Davis<br>
Linda Stevenson<br>
Lucas Cioffi<br>
Paul Levy<br>
Peggy Holman<br>
Skye Hirst<br>

<br>
We discussed OSLIST culture, and how the culture of OSLIST may not actually be very easy to figure out...<br>
<br>
...we talked about how this list has hundreds upon hundreds of members, with just 25 to 45 people (give or take) who post or reply with anything close to a regular frequency, and how some speak with highly authoritative voices.<br>
<br>
...we talked a bit about how the culture of OSLIST /might actually be kind of intimidating for new people/ to participate in.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Game<br>
<br>
We have no idea how many "regular lurkers" are in the group...we talked about trying to find out.<br>
<br>
<br>
So: if you are a "regular lurker", someone who examines these OSLIST threads periodically but does not actively participate ... are you willing to play a little game?<br>
<br>
<br>
The Lurker Game: you are invited to play...<br>
<br>
1. *...The goal* is to collectively get some idea of how many of us on the list are "regular lurkers".<br>
<br>
2. *...The rules* are:<br>
<br>
* If you consider yourself a "regular lurker", consider opting in to<br>
the game, by replying...<br>
* If you reply, absolutely nothing further will be asked of you. All<br>
you are doing is identifying yourself as someone who lurks. That's it.<br>
<br>
3. ...We'll all track *the progress* by watching the thread, and seeing how many reply over time.<br>
<br>
4. ...Participation is *opt-in*.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
To participate, just hit [Reply List] and enter "hey" and press [Enter] ...or...<br>
<br>
... (optionally) just say whatever you might want to say, instead<br>
<br>
We have no idea what might happen next; let's see what develops.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
